I Became a Genius Commander at the Academy

Chapter 344

EP.344

After capturing Venetian Castle and receiving the surrender of each country belonging to the Venetian Alliance, I quickly began preparing to return to Philolence Castle.

There were two reasons: one was to receive a thank you from Duke Philolence for rooting out the Venetian allied forces, and the other was to get revenge on the regent who had stabbed me in the back.

I requested that the Empire dispatch the minimum number of troops to defend the newly acquired territory, including Castle Veneta, and at the same time reported to His Majesty that the duke’s uncle was collaborating with the Duchy of Milan to seek the title of Duke Philolence.

Right now, I am opening and re-reading the royal decree containing the answers to the issues I requested.

“It is full of the long, hesitating sentences that are characteristic of edicts, but in short, this is what His Majesty said. We will send 60,000 additional reinforcements, so leave the heavily damaged units at Veneta Castle and take the newly sent reinforcements. “Also, dispose of Philolence’s regent according to the cause.”

The fact that I was able to replace 60,000 troops clearly means that even if I take some drastic measures and a full-scale war with Milan breaks out, His Majesty will treat it as if he had implicitly given permission.

I think he conveyed his message that the heads of Giuseppe and Regent Andrea must be blown off to establish the dignity of the empire...

I rolled up the letter containing His Majesty’s secret message, tied it with a leather thong, and muttered.

“The pure love that overcame the difference in the duke’s status at a young age, the fear and hidden hatred for my uncle, if I use the card called the evidence I secured. As long as we don’t start an all-out war with the Duchy of Milan, I think we can just cut off the heads of Giuseppe and the regent. Besides, I think I can do some good things in the process. “Up until now, I couldn’t do anything because of the official work, such as a triumphal ceremony and a banquet to welcome Giuseppe...”

While I was lost in thought, I heard someone urgently knocking on the door outside.

“who are you?”

“This is Andrea von Medici, regent to His Majesty the Duke of Philorence. “Please open the door.”

I burst out laughing.

Now that things are not going according to his plan, he is on fire. I think he came here to overcome the crisis facing him.

I wanted to kick him out right away without letting him into the room, but since we are close allies, I can’t just kick him out until I reveal that I know of his atrocities...

I got up, opened the door, and greeted him, then roughly took out some tea leaves. They even gave me a cup of tea.

Regent Andrea spoke as he savored the tea I had roughly brewed as if it were a high-quality tea exclusively for the imperial family worth 1 gold per teaspoon of tea leaves.

“As expected, you have a deep knowledge of cars. “I can’t believe you gave me such a nice car.”

“Is that so? “My wife Louise often drinks it.”

“Louise. As for Her Highness Louise, isn’t she the younger sister of His Majesty the Emperor? “As expected, because it is the tea that such a person drinks, the taste and aroma give off a sense of class.”

The regent’s face began to brighten.

“yes! “I will deal with it in the form that, about a month later, when the Captain accidentally asked me to send a maid for the night, some idiot sent my daughter by mistake, so I had no choice but to take responsibility.”

I won’t be hugging the regent’s daughter in a month.

By then, Giuseppe and that regent will have become corpses with their heads blown off.

But that idiot seems to think that by now I will take his daughter as a concubine and support him in becoming Duke Philolence.

“Then, may I ask one favor of your future ally and father-in-law?”

“.......Anything, just tell me.”

“Please keep Giuseppe in check. Please use the power of the ‘Regent’ to eliminate as much of the influence of the Milan Alliance as possible. And could you please weed out the more serious members of the pro-Milania faction?”

“... They are also like my vassals.”

I whispered quietly into his ear.

“Even if by an unavoidable coincidence I became a close friend of my father-in-law through a secret pact, wouldn’t I need to have a basis and track record to ask the empire to support my father-in-law?”

“All right. Then I’ll just go into it. “Future son-in-law.”

“Please enter comfortably, father-in-law.”

In this way, I succeeded in making Regent Andrea keep Giuseppe in check so that the two bastards did not have time to come to their senses.

The final key to the plan to bring even the Duchy of Philolence under the influence of the empire was to persuade His Highness the Duke.

I felt dirty when I met the damn regent or Giuseppe, but when I went to meet that fresh future couple, I personally felt really good.

“Besides, it is in the national interest of the empire to get them married rather than separating them. “At this point, heaven is cheering for their love.”

So I met the duke in secret and, according to etiquette, got down on one knee and said goodbye.

“Commander of the Reich Army Peter Jaeger meets with His Royal Highness Duke Philolens. “Today, I have requested to meet with you in private because I have some facts and suggestions I would like to make you know by reporting to His Majesty.”
